sherku: Antietam
The country road
Winds through what
Was once a bloody
Civil War
Battlefield
What is a sherku?
The Antietam write up in Wikipedia and the National Park Service site
I'll need to return. I did not have time this trip to visit.

sherku: drift away
Give me the beat boys
And free my soul
I want to get lost
In your rock and roll
A 'found' poem. I have loved this Doobie Brothers chorus since I first heard it and finally realized it was a sherku! Well part of it was.

sherku: rain
So many deaths
So much sorrow
Whole earth shedding
Tears of pain
Seagulls take flight
What is a sherku?

sherku: chores
Household chores
Won’t resolve world issues
But there is joy
In what we
Can control

With ink pen

Blue lines, words

Stars and stripes
Stretched, folded
Straitened, folded
Such care for
Triangle treasure
